One way is to transform the spanking situation into a learning opportunity. Let's say in the story, the little boy does something wrong. Instead of spanking, the adults in the story could introduce him to a new concept or skill that helps him understand why his behavior was unacceptable. For instance, if he was being unkind to others, they could take him to volunteer at a local shelter to see the value of kindness. This way, the story becomes more about growth, understanding, and positive change rather than punishment.
